Vast Resources PLC -

Vast Resources PLC (LON:VAST) has announced the cold commissioning of Baita Plai polymetallic mine in Romania.

Since the association licence for the mine was granted, over the last year the infrastructure required for the mine’s cold commissioning, including the electricity line, tailings pipe, mills, crushers, flotation line and equipment, has been either upgraded, refurbished or has been replaced.

The initial trial production is expected to be carried out shortly, Vast revealed.

The current cold commissioned capacity is up to 7,000 tonnes per month (tpm) and will be progressively ramped up after the arrival of the new equipment from China in January to 14,000 tpm in accordance with the project plan.

First saleable concentrate is expected from Baita Plai in the first half of next year.
